Sounds like you are looking at a real gem. In my book, low mileage and well cared for is top priority. If you look at CarMax comparable mileage/prices (as examples), Crossfires sell for a lot more than $13000 through CarMax. They can push $18,000 or more easily with such low mileage. Sure, maybe other dealers may negotiate but can you trust anything that comes from a dealer's statements about history of the vehicle? I almost purchased an 05 from a dealer but it was really an 04. They came down in price, had relatively low mileage but I had no confidence in what I was buying, nor did they. The dealer rotated the tires from front to back. When I test drove the vehicle, the tires of course rubbed. I eventually purchased my CF from a private owner,paid $14995 for an 07. Owner says there were a few chips right in eyesight so he replaced the front windshield, lifetime warranty. He also replaced 4 tires (all receipts provided). I purchased a 5 year extended warranty from Chrysler for the piece of mind, Mercedes repairs can be very pricey. If you buy the extended warranty, be sure to shop several Chrysler dealers, the extended warranty from dealer to dealer had a HUGE spread. Yes, the Crossfire can sit for quite a while at a dealer since the audience is scarce. Unknown what your dealer may have in it to make a decent profit. The gems on CarMax don't seem to last long. I poke around from time to time and see what CarMax has in stock across the country , also private sellers, too. If you like the car, you can try to negotiate but a 200 mile drive to the dealer? If I were the dealer and you offered me $4000 less than what was the asking price, I would not respond. But then, in January with less car sales, you may have a very motivated dealer. I have purchased 2 vehicles in Jan through the years, (not CF) and the dealers are motivated in winter months. As long as CF's don't break down and you get hit with pricey repairs, albeit the extended warranty, the CF is great fun. Just a suggestion; stay out of the snow. One red beauty parked in my neighborhood looks like he slid into something, like the car in front of him. The bumper is kinda OK but his front grill is gone. Very sad to see a hurt Crossfire. I have also read that (some) Crossfire parts can be hard to find. Go for it, it's a fun car to drive, no question about it and it's unique.
